This article describes how to set up PEAP-MSCHAPv2 on various Linux distributions. PEAP-MSCHAPv2 is a wireless authentication scheme used by Virginia Tech as an alternative to EAP-TLS for connections to VT-Wireless.
Set your remote access passphrase
Regardless of what software you use to establish your connection, you must first set your remote passphrase by going to my.vt.edu->Settings->Remote Passphrase.
NetworkManager
- In your wireless configuration program, select VT-Wireless.
- Choose PEAP as the EAP type.
- Choose MSCHAPv2 as the authentication method.
- Use your PID and remote passphrase as your login credentials.
wpa_supplicant
Add the following lines to /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:
network={ ssid="VT-Wireless" proto=WPA2 key_mgmt=WPA-EAP eap=PEAP phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2" identity="your PID" password="your passphrase" }
